Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
skillysantos Part 1 was good, Part 2 is epic'er. Now we come into what the Asian's are best known for in their films - their epic battles. We skip a decade or so into the future where naresuan is know a grown man and thinking for himself. In the part 1 we see that they said he will be a good leader, but already in the first 30 minutes or so in part 2 we see that they were right. His constant thinking and knowledge pulls him to think between the lines, between the battlefield and reality. What this shows is never underestimate someone small as they say "big surprises comes in small packages". The battle is definitely the main part of this film, the preparation in making this idea obviously great and well worth it. I cannot spoiler such epic battle but this film is the start of the war.
teekayu8 This comment is for people out there who manage to get their hands on this Thai epic. The sequel of the film Naresuan (as the title of IMDb implies). It is consider to be quite a good sequel, actually. In this film, Chatrichalerm Yukol has improved his style of directing from Suriyothai. In that last film, he focused to much on the main character. But in this trilogy, he really did a great job in keeping the roles spreading among the actors and actresses. There is no main focus on King Naresuan. Only the consequences of what he did.In this part, Chatrichalerm Yukol really did a good job in labeling the pictures. As the story drags by, it goes in a smooth pace. Enough to let you embrace the atmosphere of the film. The success of this film is the part that it shows how he cares for each of his soldier.The story is not the main point of the film, for it is well known if you read history. But the main point is how they present the story. There are some twists, most are usual ones; the presentation of each scene comes and goes gracefully, some fiercely. There are introductions to each scene, then a good way to finish it. The camera has its way to intrigue you.Flaws are somewhere to be found if you look closely. You could see it in the some of the scenes; some scene are crafted with the pace too fast it takes little time to feel the environment of the movie. It may contradicts what I wrote in the beginning, somehow. But like I say: Only some of the scene. Not all of them.Conclusion? This is one fine chapter in the trilogy of Thai epic. Its one big step into the future of this country's film-making industries. Hope they'll continue sticking with it. Flaws are little. Oh! Almost forgot. The other is the same problem with the first part. At the end, it gives a lacking feeling that it should be more.But overall, recommended.
